What’s good, Husker Nation! 🌽🔥 Nebraska took care of business against Michigan State — and Emmett Johnson (yes, the guy who scored three touchdowns) is in the building to help us break it all down.

In this episode

• EJ’s 3-TD clinic: how the run concepts, O-line fits, and tempo set up scoring drives — plus what he saw on each TD.
• Offensive rhythm: Dylan Raiola’s command, quick-game timing, and why early touches for RB1 keep this unit on schedule.
• Playmakers outside: how Key/Hunter/Barney stress coverages and open lanes for the ground game.
• Defense delivers: pass coverage standard stays high; tackling and run fits trend up in money moments.
• Situational football: red-zone sequencing, 3rd-down answers, and the hidden yards on special teams that flipped field position.
• What travels next week: the checklist Nebraska must carry into conference play (start fast, protect 15, cap explosives).

Emmett also takes you inside the huddle — leadership on the sideline, bye-week work that showed up, and how this locker room is learning to finish.

On this Big Red Rewind, we bring you the full reaction from Head Coach Matt Rhule following Nebraska’s hard-fought loss to Michigan. Coach Rhule addressed the media with his trademark honesty, breaking down what went wrong, what went right, and how the Huskers will use the bye week to regroup before diving back into Big Ten play.

Key topics include:

• Defending the Run: Why Michigan controlled the line of scrimmage and what Nebraska must do to improve against elite rushing attacks.
• Offensive Line & Balance: Rhule’s candid thoughts on protection breakdowns, the left tackle rotation, and the need to establish more balance with the ground game.
• Red Zone Execution: Evaluating missed opportunities inside the 10-yard line and whether we’ll see creative calls like the TE speed sweep again.
• Dylan Raiola’s Growth: How Raiola handled pressure, his development outside the pocket, and even those Patrick Mahomes comparisons floating in the media.
• Player Development: Updates on Elijah Pritchett, RB depth (Kwinten Ives, Mekhi Nelson, Mozee), and whether adding another back would’ve helped.
• Team Mentality: Why this group isn’t falling into the “here we go again” trap when facing adversity.
• Looking Ahead: Bye week schedule, recruiting priorities, and how the staff views the first three games as a “preseason” to prepare for conference play.

This is a must-listen Big Red Rewind as Nebraska turns the page from Michigan and looks to reset before the second half of the season.
